Profiteers

Profit from the US Civil War by supplying arms to both sides and speculating in Union and Confederate bonds. Invest in factories to produce weapons and gain influence, speculate on bond values, or buy businesses that benefit from a prolonged conflict. Each turn, players make investment and production decisions before contributing troops to one side in a major battle. Battles resolve quickly, with bluffing and negotiation affecting the outcome, while the war lasts three to seven turns. The player with the most cash at the end wins.
